Rangers bail out Jacob deGrom’s bumpy debut in opening day win vs. Phillies

ARLINGTON, Texas — Just in case anybody forgot: The Rangers have some bats, too.

While the story of the spring was an overhauled, restructured starting rotation, headed by Jacob deGrom, it was the lineup that bailed out the ace in Thursday’s season-opening 11-7 win over Philadelphia.

After deGrom fell into a five-run deficit, the lineup scored nine runs in the fourth inning to take the lead for good. Jonah Heim got the Rangers on the board with a two-run double and Robbie Grossman, signed only after spring training had started, hit a game-tying three run homer. The go-ahead run scored on a swinging-bunt single by Nathaniel Lowe.
